LEGO Star Wars 7662: Trade Federation MTT

Product Information

Seriously, interesting article. The same method could be applied to vehicles and buildings from other lines (e.g. City, Marvel, DC). Might be worthwhile developing a standardised scale of scale accuracy from 1 to 10 with any score of 1 to 9.5 getting an additional + or - to indicate whether the vehicle is oversized or undersized." Say whatever you want, but calling licenced sets a bad thing just shows your ignorance of the wider market and how business works.

You can just see some pro MOCer looking at those Star Destroyer measurements, thinking - "challenge accepted" ;-) Notes: Canon sources sometimes give a length of 23.40 metres, but that describes the fully armoured BTL-B Y-wing Starfighter deployed during the Clone Wars, rather than its later stripped-down equivalent. Anything pre 2002-ish I think gets a pass. They have their problems, but they were a product of their time. I'm glad the article does mention that many of the issues present on those sets to today's audience would not be able to be rectified until years later.I don't know who's the worst troll here - the user who says "Sod Star Wars" and "Fanboys has taken over the community", or the one who says "There’s no place for your statements here" and "Every sentence you wrote reeks of stupidity".

I really like 75201 ! It brings a smile to my face every time I see it, as it was just a lovely moment in the movie. The only negative for me is the price, which is too high. If people think my comments are irrelevant, well look at all those stupid comments on City, Creator and other true Lego themes news "When's the new Star Wars coming out?" "What do you think of the new Star Wars sets?" "Where's Star Wars Rogue 1 being released?" It's very annoying.Personally I disagree with many of the items being on this list—the first bunch are from around the birth of the theme, a time when LEGO designing was a far more difficult task than it is now, and a good number of the newer entries on the list I happen to like—although given that I liked Assault on Hoth(!) that may not be surprising. Plus, who doesn't enjoy more assassin droids? :-) I think it is not fair to say those sets from early years are bad, because designers got limited amount of well designed slope pieces[1] and the idea of combining interesting building technics to create play feature revolves over times.[2] Prices were not taken into consideration either as they vary a great deal between different countries and regions, although this may be a factor in choosing your least favourite Star Wars set.

There is actually also a thing about colors, that ends up looking inaccurate in smaller scales, making people mix lighter colors and create fake shadows, but that's a whole other can of worms, that scale modelers have to deal with.The significance of minifigure-scale varies dramatically between subjects. Larger starfighters such as the T-65 X-wing or TIE/sk Striker have achieved near-perfection and that is apparent simply when looking at them, without needing any calculations. Other vehicles deviate slightly from the source material, but are ideally-suited to interaction with minifigures. The "selling to parents" point definitely is important, but another reason people don't buy Castle and Space is because Lego doesn't sell them as they would "conflict" with licenses like SW, Harry Potter and LOTR. I'd love to see a well-built semi-realistic space theme (inspired by the type of illustrations you'd see in popular science mags) with sets based on locations in the solar system like the Moon, Mars, Venus, Titan and Europa. It would also be nice with a castle theme with a little more focus on "civilian" structures similar to Medieval Market and Mill Village Raid, too bad Lego has such a rigid attitude to religious buildings as a church really is the centerpiece of any medieval village.
